I have said many times in this thread, if you will PM with your info (Theater Name, Presented in Logos, Featuring Logos, Marquee Text, and Neon Text) I will gladly create a sign for you as I have done for many users.

Awfully kind of you to offer but like with many of the things in these forums, I really want to learn how-to-do-it . It'll take me forever and I may just give up in the long run but I must like pain or something...

I have had a play with a bit of vector art I found and put one of a choice of characters in the ticket boot, Mario, Bugs Bunny, Tweety Pie, Porky or Burger Time. I have attached an example with Mario waiting to give you your ticket, hopefully attached. Unfortunately I forgot I had these and have already sent mine off for printing.

To further expand on this great thread and also being the proud owner of this cool marquee...I was curious if anyone has seen the Concession signage that has also been posted in this forum?? Was curious if a similiar sign could be made for somewhat less cost...using the same Michaels frame (or even larger depending on sign) I guess the first obastacles in the way would be acquiring the proper fonts for use in Photoshop correct? Here is the link to the thread in this forum:

Wow very nice pics Chinadog Looks very nicely done....I especially like the hot buttered popcorn art that you have in both signs....I would love to have the .psd file as well...That is if you don't mind...Looks like I will have to figure out the right frame size that would be most fitting as well....What size frames did you use for yours? I like the size of the Blazing Ridge Cinema sign, that size looks just right...

The sign is 24"x36", but you can change that obviously. FYI, I made the frame too, so if you change it, you just create a new frame or try to adjust the size to a one of those Michael shadow box sizes. Also, the guy at Kinkos said I was breaking copyright laws because of the logos, but explained to him that it was for my personal home theater and I wasn't selling it, then he was OK with it.

WOW, for those prices, I'll start coming to your house to watch movies....

Nice work chinadog.

Curious - did you create the frame for the snacks yourself or did you just add shelves to a shadowbox? If you added shelves, what did you use (size of wood, how did you secure it, and is it just a display with empty boxes)?

Thanks. Built the shelf myself with extra wood I had from my bar I built. I just picked a size that fit the wall right and used a shelf width based on a couple boxes of candy. All the candy is real candy, not a display (I have kids ... with friends).

To secure it to the wall, I used an extra piece of wood across the back, drilled through it and attached it using wall anchors. You can see it a little bit better here:

My question at the bottom of that thread pertains to this topic so instead of taking up space, I'll direct you to the above link and accept any advice

BTW....A huge thank you to "dachavez" for putting this sign together for me.

Unfortunately I have not worked with that material before. The questions will be around intensity of light and the color of the light. Also since this is more commercial, be very careful about heat. LED rope light is great in that it does not get hot, but sucks for color (too blue and flickers). The ones we have been doing (incandescent rope light) would get too hot for a commercial application and may create a fire hazard. Flourescents are good, but need adequate ventilation.
